I am getting in late on this discussion and I apologize if these questions
have been covered before.  I assume the custom aluminum oil pan is to save
space and weight and does not address the question of running inverted?  I
am wondering how the rotary handles inverted flight?  From my RX-7
experience, increasing the oil capacity (a larger oil pan holding an extra
quart or more) is desirable for cooling performance.  So I am wondering if
the aluminum oil pan actually reduces oil capacity and is this problematic?

No it increases oil capacity but I would not run the rotary in sustained inverted flight. You need a well designed dry sump system for that.

These cut aways show the oil drain back passages essential for rotor cooling. Oil is squirted into the rotors and it must find a way out to carry away the heat.


This oil pan has 2 gallon capacity or 8 quarts. My 230 HP O-470 Cont.
has 12 quarts. Stock RX8 5 quarts. This delays oil heating on take off when good  oil cooling is needed most.
